Excerpt from Composition and Rhetoric
This book aims throughout to promote self-cultivation in correct and effective speech and writing. Better English for immediate use, rather than the futile attempt to "develop writers," is its goal.
The capacity, the needs, and the interests of the average student have at all times been considered in the preparation of the text. The specimens of composition, selected from both standard and contemporary writers, have been chosen for their attractiveness to modern students as well as for their illustrative aptness. The subjects suggested for oral and written composition afford boys and girls, country-bred and city-bred, opportunity to use material familiar to them through everyday observation and experience. Numerous exercises in oral narration and exposition, frequent assignments in letter-writing, and definite practice in the writing required of students in other school subjects, - note-taking, translating from foreign languages, and the writing of reports and examination papers, - all furnish specific motivation for the study of composition and render the instruction immediately usable. The twenty-one full-page illustrations, which are made the basis of a number of exercises, include a rather wide range of subjects that appeal to the present generation of boys and girls.
Besides the usual equipment found in the average manual of composition, the present book contains a large amount of important supplementary material commonly available only in handbooks.
